This is the third part of my Xilleon port. I am sending the full set of patches to linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx which is archived at: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/ Only the patches that touch generic parts of the kernel are coming here. The Xilleon's (32bit MIPS SOC) serial ports do not work right if the fifo is not enabled. This prevented early serial support from working. The fix is to set UART_CAP_FIFO in early_serial_setup iff the hardware says it supports it. Patch against 2.6.14-rc2 from linux-mips.org Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@xxxxxxxxxx> Set UART_CAP_FIFO in early_serial_setup() if the port has that capability. Needed by xilleon port. --- commit e65836c84865cbcf3abc445984bacc583624e347 tree 9c198c5858e4c8c500327e7947c69921355dea9b parent 2a66e82b3d2b02aca88cc2f60286fba0c114139d author David Daney <daney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 14:02:44 -0700 committer David Daney <daney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 14:02:44 -0700 drivers/serial/8250.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/serial/8250.c b/drivers/serial/8250.c --- a/drivers/serial/8250.c +++ b/drivers/serial/8250.c @@ -2283,6 +2283,8 @@ int __init early_serial_setup(struct uar serial8250_isa_init_ports(); serial8250_ports[port->line].port = *port; serial8250_ports[port->line].port.ops = &serial8250_pops; + if (uart_config[port->type].flags & UART_CAP_FIFO) + serial8250_ports[port->line].capabilities |= UART_CAP_FIFO; return 0; }
